      There’s philosophy called “herds” where a person sees one person buying more than needed so like sheep they follow in a panic. Sad thing about it is it doesn’t have to be a smart person that everyone follows. One dumb ass buys a bunch and everyone around thinks “I better get a bunch before it runs out.”

    Nick,
    I haven’t read yer all of book yet but here’s this:
    1. Anybody at a track in the spring amidst a public shutdown is serious about improving at something. Subsequently u ran into some actual athletes. Maybe not so decorated but when they walk pigeon-toed, don’t race em in anything shorter than a quarter.
    1a. Next time, take it from me, steer clear of urban basketball courts. Try the In-N-Out parking lot and predominantly target Hoka wearers with 26.2 stickers on their cars.
    2. You are so inspiring cuz even though you clearly have some gifts, your huge success had to be about commitment/planning/execution...i.e. creating luck if you will.... So respect.
    3. If you are half as happy and well adjusted and sincerely self deprecating, i give that the life equivalent of a cool summer night’s win in Oslo.
    4. And yes, one’s legs can just “Go” rather quickly. Enjoy every bouncy stride.
    5. You gotta be sore the day after that show! But that strained hammy feeling prolly just makes ya happier...
    6. in a totally unrelated matter... that roadside downhill mile in the supesneakers... was that normal pain for you or something special ?
    Finally, I got 20 years on you but am now back in speed training just in case we cross paths... was D1 pole vaulter with hecka work ethic/balls but no real speed... once got smoked by the track team manager in a 40yd dash... so i am still on the hunt for that one big win to let me know I’m it.

    Hey Nick, I hope you read this comment. I've basically binged watched all your videos (well most anyway) and you've inspired me to start running. I'v never really run much at all and I'm horrible at running! So far My best run has been 300 meters and I have top speed of 9 km/hr. Of course that's really really really poor BUT prior to this I was running 0 meters. I've only just started a few days now and i try my best to walk/jog/run for at least 30 mins. Mostly walking though but I'm happy to have started. Thanks for much for making running fun. I'm no longer a couch potato...I'm a running potato!
